CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING

Chapter 5

Andri looked at me warmly, making me feel loved. But Dimas's shadow just keeps interrupting, I gotta talk. Ask about the continuation of our relationship, and I need to know what really happened.

Intan's pain, made me realize, I've been acting stupid. I'm sorry, but with Dimas quiet, I'm nervous. If he had cut off the relationship, he should have said. I need clarity and not everything he does, I understand.

Even if Rani knew of our relationship, her attitude would not be like that. Rani can't be okay. Ah, I'm so upset. It's not that easy to forget Dimas, even though Andri is now being very nice.

"Darling... Thanks, take care of Intan."

I smiled, not only was she happy to see Intan cheer up again, I was also very happy and promised to be a better mother.

Andri grabbed my hand and put something in the palm of the hand.

I thought about it before opening, but I'm sure there's a piece of jewelry in it.

A small box wrapped in a thin velvet cloth of red color.

I can't believe there's an immeasurable turmoil of happiness.

Did ya?

"What is this, dad?" I was hoping to worry.

"Open!"

One...

Two...

I slowly opened this thing, and it was like a dream. But I stopped until my heart calmed down, I have to accept that Andri was just bragging. If this box were empty, I would never make it again.

Three!

The box is open, and... I'm stunned. My eyes widened upon a golden ring with jewels. It blinded my eyes and for a moment I closed my eyes, hoping it wasn't a dream.

"Where, baby, do you like it?" Ask my husband while stroking my hair that has not been washed for three days.

"Well... Hmmmm... Like. I really like. It's real, right?"

Andri gave a piece of paper, in which it was written that this pure gold rusted.

As a big thank you, I hugged her very tightly. Then tease with sweet and spoiled words. I resigned if he wanted to do anything.

I took her to the room, but she subtly refused.

I frowned, in disbelief, Andri refused when I asked her to come in contact. It has been a few weeks that we have not been in a relationship. Because I had a hitch, not to mention Intan being sick and some other things, which forced me to refuse at that time.

"Why?" I asked for clarity.

"I don't want to."

I thought he was kidding, just keep teasing me. Uh, Andri's gone.

"Where?"

"I forgot, there's something I need to finish."

He said, without seeing me back. Rejection, I felt useless. Andri's ring I put on. I watched and looked until I was satisfied. Feel comfortable on the fingers.

But where did Andri get it?

Looking at the price listed in the receipt, very large. Bigger than the weekly money you used to give.

I have to trace where he got it, I don't want Andri to do no good to give me a ring. The ring I've wanted since we got married.

***

Intan's asleep, but Andri's not home yet. After he gave me a ring that glittered in a sweet day, I felt guilty for betraying it. Maybe I'd better end it before it's too late, Andri still doesn't know.

Why did Andri give me the ring, but he went and refused my invitation. I'll wait, a few times I chat and phone but there's no answer. Andri is busy, but I have investigated, Andri really works for Mr. Irwan.

Ah yes! Maybe Andri just got a commission, he once told me, trusted to buy and sell land owned by Mr. Irwan.

It's so sad, when I sincerely ask him to relate, then rejected. I measure myself, what am I lacking?

Long time I kept in front of the mirror, watching my face and appearance that I did not realize it turned out I was aging. At the age of three five, women are vulnerable to aging. Maybe because now I rarely groom, so Andri is lazy to serve.

After this I will ask for rations to buy skin care again, so that my face again rejuvenates, blushes and dazzles.

The more researched, my face looked dull, maybe thinking too much about Dimas, I forgot the treatment. Or because of this too, Dimas so avoid?

I admit, I lost fresh by Rani. Rani now looks glowing and bright.

Here's what else, my slightly stretched body, from dinner. I can't stand Andri coming home with food.

Andri refused. Not to mention my sweaty and smelly body, because I rarely wear deodorant.

I rushed to the bathroom, scrubbed and cleaned. Done, I danced and put on the reddest lipstick I had. I'm wearing Andri's favorite purple satin lingerie. Tonight I have to give him the best service.

Promise to return to appearance. I'm sure Dimas will come back to me.

***

It was a very hot day, coming home from school. After attending a parent meeting about class increases. I got a sight that was never imagined at all.

It's been a hot day that makes "haredang", even hotter because Dimas is enjoying this day with Rani and her two children in the village park.

I forgot! If Dimas had two toddlers. The first 3 years, the second the Dede, now it's been over a year.

I saw Dimas so happy to lead the second child to walk. The first boy seemed excited as Dimas chased. A happy little family.

What happens if Rani finds out we've been in a relationship?

Rani now looks so fashionable, even though she is hijab-wearing, she is still stylish with elegant clothes.

Seeing their happiness I was sick. Badly squeezed, he shouldn't be okay with Rani.

The children of Dimas, those innocent faces... I ruined their happiness.

But...

I'd still not be willing if Dimas left me. I'd rather lose Andri than have to let Dimas go.

Although Andri's finances have begun to find a bright spot, my heart has already turned away.

The shadow as High School flashed, the shadow of the innocent Dimas dancing around. He and I have spent a lot of time together, even without love.

If I hadn't met Andri and if Dimas had never fallen for Rani.

Do I deserve to shed tears?

I want Dimas to back up, back up when I'm hurt.

"Darling!"

I jumped, the sudden presence of Andri while I was focusing on watching Dimas with his little family.

I turned around and endured the pain in my throat.

"What are you again?"

"Dad, when is it here?"

"Just now, what are you?"

I shook my head, then dizzy struck.

"Mothers... You cry?" Ask Andri worried.

"Link." While rubbing my eyes, I was still afraid that Andri would know that I had looked at Dimas so far.

Andri embraced and invited me to sit on the edge of the park chair.

"Where is Dad going?"

"Willing to pick up mom, we're eating out?"

"Hayu, but we'll wait for Intan."

We waited for Intan in the park. The park is next to the school, so just as Intan exits the gate, he must have seen us.

Andri doesn't hug me, usually she doesn't feel embarrassed even in public places. Andri was busy with hp, I myself even paid attention to Intan's school gate.

"Hey, Mom!" My husband's greeting to Dimas.

Dimas approached us intentionally or indeed accidentally passed by.

"H, Ndri!"

"Honey, it's Dimas!" Andri nudged me.

I just smiled, and tried to act normal, "where?" I asked while staring at Dimas inside. I hope Dimas understands the signal.

"out playing. Now the kids want to play." Dimas.

They finally left after we greeted each other. I'm dead stylish, and Dimas's misbehaving. He behaved as if nothing had ever happened. My heart trembled, anger rose, I wanted Dimas to praise me again and make me queen in the heart.

"Darling, they look so happy, don't they?"

I smiled, holding back the pain. The head gets dizzy, but I have to hold on.

"Dimas was lucky, got a beautiful and kind wife, also loyal like Rani."

I immediately looked at Andri, who turned out to be watching Rani's steps.

"Maskud what father?" I asked half a scream.

"Huh? What did you say, what did you just say?"

Ah, never mind, he must have accidentally said it.

Beauitiful? Am I not beautiful?

Am I not good?

Being loyal?

Yes, I am not loyal.

I'm getting annoyed at Rani. Andri turned around and praised him.

"Where am I looking forward to with Rani?" Seriously many.

Andri laughed instead, and looked at me amusedly.

I'm pouting.

"Look forward to you dong Iyaang." Plucking my nose that's gurgling.
